Fondazione Monte dei Paschi di Siena

The Monte dei Paschi Foundation was established on 28 August 1995 when the banking activities of the public-law credit institution were transferred to Monte dei Paschi Bank, Inc., whose origins date back to 1622 when it was founded on behalf of the Magistrates and people of Siena “so that it might have fertile development and regulations and rules, for the private and public advantage of the City and State of Siena”. With the approval of its new charter on 8 May 2001, the foundation assumed the juridical status of a private non-profit organisation with full statutory and management autonomy.
